AD NUMBER: 2006-09-13
MANUFACTURER: Honeywell
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2006-09-13 SUMMARY: The FAA is
superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for Honeywell
International Inc. ALF502L series and ALF502R series turbofan
engines. That AD currently establishes stress rupture retirement
life limits for certain third stage turbine discs used in
conjunction with certain third stage turbine nozzles. This AD
brings requirements forward and unchanged, from the previous AD for
ALF502R series turbofan engines. Also, this AD establishes new
reduced stress rupture retirement life limits for certain part
numbers (P/Ns) of third stage turbine disc and shaft assemblies
installed in ALF502L series turbofan engines. This AD also requires
removing those same parts from service using a drawdown schedule.
This AD results from a report of failure of a third stage turbine
disc and shaft assembly, leading to turbine blade release and
separation of the exhaust nozzle. We are issuing this AD to prevent
total loss of engine power, in-flight engine shutdown, release of
turbine blades, separation of the exhaust nozzle, and possible
damage to the airplane.The FAA is superseding an existing
